(Sept.)\ \ \ \ \ Library JournalBittman's newest cookbook complements his Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating, in which he argues the need for Americans to change their diets for medical and ethical reasons. His two goals with this collection of recipes are to help people to eat healthier to lose weight and to eat more sustainably. Sustainable eating means eating seasonally, limiting damage to the environment, avoiding exploitation of people or animals, and cutting out junk food and processed foods and limiting animal products. The bulk of our diet should come from fresh produce, whole grains, and legumes. Meats, cheeses, and alcohol are not completely removed but reduced and are ingredients in some of the recipes. Most of the recipes are short and easy to follow. Almost everything can be found in local supermarkets, as Bittman aims to make eating well easy. He includes variations that will give readers inspiration to experiment.Verdict Highly recommended for everyone looking to improve their health or eat responsibly.
